Former Assad officers fear HTS retribution after regime falls • FRANCE 24 English

For those serving Assad’s regime, and for his religious community, the fall of the dictator has been a shock that puts them in a difficult and dangerous posture. They fear retribution from all those who were oppressed during his rule. Our reporters James André, Julie Dungelhoeff and Sofia Amara managed to enter the compound were the officers of the infamous 4th division of the regime’s army had their staff quarters.

  1. The new regime led my hts should be very careful to take revenge on assad soldiers cause they are not innocent either

  2. Western countries and their tororist committed war crimes in syria syria army never committed war crimes they fought to save their country from Western backed tororist and insurgents

  3. The Alawite community, making up 10% of the population and supported by Hezbollah and Iran, has significant military experience. Despite this, their lack of resistance is puzzling, especially given the potential consequences of inaction during this deceptive period of calm before expected oppression.

  4. Jajajaja they looking for ways to seek Asylum. He will sure be safe in his own country. Many of them in Europe claimed they are not safe to live in Syria but go on vacation with family every year.

  5. America offered ten millions dollar few years ago to capture Muhammed al Joulani Ahmad new name now he became a good guy and can lead syria look at America lies

  6. Turkey will take advantage of the chaos and occupy Syria !!
    Ask the Greek, Cyprus, Or the Kurds who have suffered years from Turkey's expansionist ambitions.

  7. In all fairness the majority of the people following Assad where just people trying to make a living doing the best they could for their family so I hope he the new government will be kind to them honestly he should put them in the army as punishment for what they where doing they have to risk their lives protecting the people they where oppressing that seems fair especially since their children and their close family members will be mistresses and discriminated against at least they have the chance to change their public image.

  8. When the officers were in power up until a few weeks ago, they had been committing torture and butchery in an industrial scale. They didn’t offer even the slightest of sympathy to others
